I bought The Mat for my very first try with fondant and it was amazing.

The fondant was perfect on the 8-inch round cake, no bubbles, no ruffles, no ridges. The Mat is a must for anyone working with fondant, amateur or professional. Why complicate matters when there's such a simple, fool-proof tool! I am a self-taught lifelong hobbyist but I strive for professional-level results and I am glad I bought The Mat for my first time working with fondant.

Easily create beautiful dropped pearls using gumpaste or even poured sugar. This mold is resistant to rips and tears and best of all, they are incredibly detailed and nothing sticks to them!! This mold is very soft and flexible and can easily go from as high as 450 degrees to the freezer without affecting the mold. This mold is a great bargain in that it includes ALL 3 sizes! Kathy's Tip: Be sure to make your gumpaste ahead of time (by adding Tylose Powder to your Fondant), wrap it up and let it sit for 20-30 minutes so it can firm up slightly.
